Self-Help Web Center (SHWC)

Part-Time Employment Opportunity: The Center for
Access to Justice and Technology at Chicago-Kent seeks a
part-time staff member to assist self-represented litigants
at the Self Help Web Center (SHWC). The SHWC is located
on busiest floor of the Daley Center courthouse downtown
and empowers those who cannot afford a lawyer by providing
guided access to online legal information, referral to local
legal aid organizations, and access to online form preparation
tools. In addition to helping self-represented individuals,
the staff member will also be responsible for training new
SHWC volunteers and maintaining the Centerís use statistics.

A candidate for this position must be able to work at least
10 hours per week, be available Monday and Tuesday mornings,
and be eligible to receive a federal work study grant. The
office of Financial Aid can tell you whether you qualify
for federal work study. This is excellent opportunity to
make a difference and gain legal-related job experience.

Volunteer Opportunity: SHWC is also currently seeking
volunteer web facilitators for the Self-Help Web Desk at
the Daley Center. Volunteers at the web desk gain real-world
experience by helping self-represented and under-represented
litigants access legal information through the internet.
To become an SHWC volunteer or to learn more about this
program contact Dave Bonebrake; dbonebrake@kentlaw.edu
